Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Students extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson plan, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, pupils evaluate algebraic expressions involving the addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication of negative and positive integers. Students identify mathematical properties and find the...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, students simplify algebraic expressions and solve proportions, and write equations from story problems. Thirteen of the 49 problems are fill in the blank, and the remainder are multiple choice.

Students study minerals and their physical properties.  In this mineral lesson students use technology to investigate minerals and their properties. 

Students conduct an experiment and complete a chart demonstrating some of the basic properties and components of water via the scientific method. They encompass strategies such as questioning, making predictions, comparing/contrasting...

Students examine the dust in their classroom and relate it to the dust in space.  In this investigative instructional activity students collect dust and graph their findings.

Students collect rocks, identify them, classify them, investigate their properties, and more. In this rocks lesson plan, students also experiment with soil and erosion and weather.

Pupils experiment with silly putty.  In this chemical changes lesson students work in groups, perform tests and collect data.

Students examine the three different types of soil and their physical properties.  In this soil instructional activity students design and implement a model of a water treatment plant. 

In this worksheet on properties, students complete a chart of various elements and check the properties that apply to each. Students study 12 elements and check any of the ten properties that pertain to each.

In this math worksheet, students look for the properties related to each shape and then fill in the graphic organizer with the categories needed.

Third graders are introduced to the topic of matter. As a class, they brainstorm what they already know about matter and its properties. After completing a worksheet, they participate in an experiment in which they observe matter in...

Students compare the properties of rocks. They identify objects made of rocky materials such as walls, sidewalks, etc. Students describe and group rocks based on their characteristics.

Students practice sorting and classifying objects. In groups, they choose a variety of materials and describe how each one looks and feels. They must agree on how to classify each object and share their groupings with the class. They...

Students examine the properties of a liquid that contains water and food coloring and a liquid that contains water, food coloring and a liquid detergent. They interpret their data, describe properties, and make reasonable explanations...

Eighth graders experiment what happens when acids and bases are mixed together. In this acids and bases experimental lesson plan, 8th graders decide which of three solutions of unknown pH will neutralize a fourth solution of unknown pH....

Students determine the physical properties of magnets. They analyze the size, number of poles and strength of the magnets. They make observations of what happens to magnets when they are placed next to each other.
